I am a single Grandmother. I love my daughter more than anything but at this time my 19 month old grandson, in which I keep atleast 3 to 4 times a week (all night), is not being taken care of as he should. I don't necessarily mean abused but I do feel like he's being neglected. The father to him doesn't work and so self-involved it is unreal. At this time I have recieved info that the father is using steroids and I have researched the side effects and so forth on this and my daughters only worry right now is him being happy and nothing else. My grandson has been crying and wont let go of me when they come to pick him up and there has got to be some reasong for this. I have no proof at this time but am considering fighting for temporary custody of him and need to know exactly what legal rights I have. My daughter says she would but she knows his father would have a fit. He knows this is the only control and hold he has over my daughter. I just want whats best for my grandson.

first before startin world war 3 ask the daughter about keepin him temporarly, then if she doesnt agree tell her you think she needs time to straighten things out and you are willing to take him but if she doesnt let you you will call child protective and report what u suspect.. Maternal grandparents out weigh paternal grandparents so you already have the upper hand so to speek.... you need to make sure that you are playing the roll as grandma though.... i have 2 girls am a single mom and my mom cares for my girls over night on the weekends when i work but i get very little sleep. its just a toss up i guess do what is in your heart to do.... .anyhow after contacting CPS go to the court house and file a petition to gain temporary sole costody with your daughter having visitation of the child..... it will work in your advantage that the father is not working the things that u think are the littlest are the best in cases like this......

I don't think that you have any rights unless your daughter leaves him and takes her son. She is the mother, unless you can prove that he is neglected and abused, but make sure that the father can not turn it around and say that the mother is the abuser. Because you don't want him to get your grandchild if he does then your daughter would get visits with her child. I know because my grandson does me the same way when its time for him to go back to his mother. my son and his wife are going threw a divorce which my son lives with me for now. and my soon to be x-daughter-n-law is a poor excuse of a mother but there is nothing that we can do about it she is the mother and its so hard to prove abuse unless you have a witness to it. what I'm saying is good luck

You didn't say if the parents are married or who has custody if not. If your daughter has custody try and have her just "leave" the baby with you for "awhile." Call social services and they will be able to help you decide if you want to press for custody.
